Reisen til Julestjernen is a well-known Norwegian Christmas play from 1924. Even better-known is the movie from 1976. A few weeks ago a new movie based on the play was released in the cinemas here in Norway.
Gimpville did some of the effects on it and I did some of the designs including The Northern Wind and Santa's workshop. The Northern Wind can be seen at 0:41 in the trailer and the workshop can be seen at 1:30.
Here are some concepts of the workshop's exterior and interior:

Final designs:

Some more concept art:

I also storyboarded these and animated the first 15 seconds on this one (still one of my first CG-animation jobs ever):
